Beloved–
Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. (from Ephesians)
As a young Christian, I learned that most of my rebellion was/is in my thoughts. As I search my heart to find and confess all types of my evil thoughts, the most difficult to let go is bitterness. To treat someone just as I would want to be treated and then they “stab me in the back” in return, no, that’s too unbearable. It also was unbearable that my sinless savior, Jesus Christ, had to endure the shedding of his blood so that my rebellion of unrighteousness could be covered in the presence of the Lord God Almighty! I pray for you to want to choose Jesus Christ over trying to get even, you never can anyway.
Luv Ya!
